Upgrading Horizon Connection Server from Windows Server 2016/2019 to 2022

Reading Time: 3 minutesIf you are are planning to upgrade your Horizon Connection Server’s OS, there are two different paths. One is using an in-place upgrade of Windows Server that can work (in theory). The second one is decommisioning your connection server and replace with a new one (and repeat if you have more). The strategy really depends of the size of your environment and how much is production critical. With a dev or lab environment single server, the in-place OS upgrade could make sense.

For Rocky Linux in-place upgrades from one major version to the next aren’t supported (see https://docs.rockylinux.org/release_notes/9_0/) at all and there is a good reason… if somethings goes wrong you cannot revert the operation. There are also other good reasons, like that the new version may require more resources (for example, disk space).
